For example, for those who are interested in the Breaking Bad sequel "El Camino", but have missed seeing all 62 episodes of Netflix long-haulers, the service could be a way to catch up quickly. The service means that the users can work with the playback speed and then choose to play series between 0.5 times to 1.5 times the actual speed.

So much time you can save

The 60-hour rounds of the drama drama in the example of "Breaking bad" would, with the push of a button, turn into more modest 45 hours - thus "saving" 15 hours of television viewing - if the series was played 1.5 times faster.

But many creators do not appreciate being changed in their works and now some real industry bosses are shrugging off the crisp via Twitter:

"Don't force me to call every director and producer on earth to take this fight against you. Save me that time, because I will win, "writes producer Judd Apatow, who has been involved in a long line of successful comedies such as" Zero and Nerds "," Anchorman "and" The cable guy "- to name a few.

"Spectacular bad idea"

Brad Bird, one of the men behind the Simpsons, fills in:

“Another spectacularly bad idea. Why support the filmmakers' visions on the one hand and then work to destroy the presentation on the other? "

Notably, the feature is so far limited to the Android app for Netflix and is currently being evaluated. Whether it will be widely debated by several filmmakers on the broad front remains to be seen, in a blog post, the company is developing its view on the infected issue:

"We currently have no plans to launch this and if we decide to do so in the future will largely depend on the feedback we receive."
